The old mother goddess has hair on her chin. Do you mind? The old man blushes, he doesn't know the answer. I said, says the old mother goddess, do you mind if I become a man? Oh that! — No, he doesn't mind; she can have his place, she can be the new old man. He has read someplace the words that say .. . But he for gets, and once more blushes for not remembering what the words said. Then you don't mind? says the old mother goddess. Mind? Mind if I become a man ... ? Oh that! No no, not at all.
